Hey all…it’s Brandie  The outfit Zander is wearing below belonged to his daddy when he was a baby.  Pretty cool, huh?  Thank you Karen for keeping it in such good condition all these 31 years & bringing it to us.

Our munchkin has his first little cold.  It’s mostly just a cough, but it’s yucky just the same.

Seems Brian’s been slacking on his daddy duties!  Just to fill you all in:  We had his 4 month appointment (A MONTH AGO!)  Of course he had more shots and he weighed in at a whopping 15 pounds, 12.5 ounces. He had a cardiologist appointment very shortly after and is doing very well.  So well, in fact, that Dr. Moreau says we don’t need to see him again for 6 months.

Zander now has 2 TEETH! Needless to say they are very sharp & I have gotten nipped a few times (pun intended).  We have started him on some rice cereal in the evenings & he seems to really dig it.  He really likes the kind with bananas.

On another note, my brother John will be going back to Turkey (the MAN is sending him away) at the end of this month.  Please pray for him as he has explained to me that things over there aren’t pretty right now.  I love you Johnny!

Also, my step sister has just had her 3rd child.  He is a little premature & they thought he was going to have some health problems right off the bat & would be needing surgery as soon as he was born.  I am so happy to say that Mommy & baby are doing great!  Lisa gets to go home but little Anthony Joseph has to stay for a couple of days so they can keep an eye on him.  Congrats to Sal & Lisa!

Enough rambling, my love to all!  HUGS & KISSES!  Brandie :o)
